autoPropane. Clean. And Green.
Propane is the market leader in alternative fuels for the automotive sector.
In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy predicts that propane will be the leading alternative fuel of the 21st century.
The reason for the world-wide popularity of autoPropane are clean and simple.
Here's an overview:
autoPropane is Cost Effective: up to 30% less than comparable gasoline vehicles. (NPGA 11-06)
- autoPropane is Clean vs. Gasoline: tests by the Environmenal Protection Agency (EPA) confirm that propane vehicles produce up to 90% less carbon monoxide and about half the toxics and other smog emissions than gasoline engines. (NPGA 11-06)
autoPropane is Clean vs. CNG: tests by the California Transit Authority confirm that propane is 87% lower in total hydrocarbon emissions (measured at the tailpipe), 50% lower in nitrogen oxides and 40% lower in particulate matter. (NPGA 11-06)
autoPropane Delivers Performance: propane is high octane (103 versus "premium" gasoline at 91-93) and many fleets report 2-3 years longer service life, extended intervals between required maintenance, even longer spark plug life. (NPGA 11-06)
- autoPropane Means Longer Vehicle Life: clean propane engines can last 2-3 times longer than gasoline and diesel engines. (NPGA 11-06)
- autoPropane Vehicles are Safe: all components of autoPropane systems are designed, approved and installed in accordance with stringent safety requirements (various government and regulatory agencies) and propane tanks are 20-times more puncture resistant than gasoline tanks.
autoPropane is Easy to Work With: conversion systems are designed for today's sophisticated engines.
- autoPropane is Readily Available: Sparling's installs equipment for fleets to refuel their own propane vehicles, and autoPropane is also available at a network of over 5,000 refueling sites in Canada and over 10,000 in the U.S.
- autoPropane is Proven: worldwide, approximately 8.2 million vehicles run clean and green on high performance autoPropane - and growing (World LP Gas Association)
